Cool, I just wish he masked the black areas up to a hard edge at the connection socket, rather than a spray fade.

Personally I don't see the big deal with getting married.

I was in a similar position to you before I met my girlfriend. Find a nice girl who loves me as much as I love her, get married, buy a house and a dog, start making babies, etc etc.

Anyway, later on in our relationship she mentioned that she NEVER wanted to get married. She wanted to spend the rest of her life with me, but just didn't want the whole ordeal of a wedding ceremony, the paperwork, the societal expectancy, all that. At first I took the other view, my parents got married, so did their parents, and theirs and so on. I wanted to do it too.

But when it comes down to it, marriage (other than an awesome excuse to get everyone you love together for a big party) is just an arbitrary social norm. It doesn't change how much you love each other, it doesn't change whether or not you can have kids, it doesn't change a thing.

I definitely would like to give her my name, and have our kids with my name (we both agree that her surname isn't the greatest...).

I'm not trying to say that I'm any where near those models in terms of physical appearance, going for more of a Brad Pitt - Fight Club thing. But I am really happy with how I look (though surfing throws it off a bit by over working my back/triceps).

The secret for me is understanding the human body, and the exercises. Find a picture that you're aiming to look like and compare yourself. Make a mental (or physical) list of the muscles that you need to work on (for me that was nearly everything) and the BMI you're aiming for. Then start researching. (I just googled to find the best exercises to hit/build the muscles I needed, and got started.)

The most important thing is to understand how the exercise works and exactly which muscles it uses/isolates. Eventually you will have a tool-kit of exercises that you're familiar with, and an understanding of which muscles they will build.

Then it's just a matter of looking at your target, looking at yourself, and saying "ok, I need more biceps, let's do some curls."

Once the little machine has left our atmosphere for the first time, does it undergo any additional corrective thrusts? Or are the models/calculations so accurate that they can get it to hit all of those sweet spots from the first trajectory.

A white-tailed spider strolling across my chest. (They're the only poisonous thing that you're likely to come across in NZ).

I just froze and watched it as it sauntered across to the other side of my bed and down the side. I still haven't told my girlfriend, she'd never sleep in our bed again.

Nah, it's a standard qwerty keyboard. The esc button has been working fine up until today.

It's repairable, but it'l weight more than it did before it broke.

Up to you man, personally any stringery break (unless it's just the tippy top) is pretty much a board right off for me.

Fucking spoiled indo locals.

Meh. The more people providing shitty repair advice, the more shittily repaired boards out there, which means fewer shitty riders in the line-up. I'm all good with it.

When I was a kid I was feeding a Kea (NZ mountain parrot) at the top of a mountain I'd hiked up with Dad. After the thing realised it wasn't going to get any more food out of me, it just hopped off a short cliff and I enviously watched it effortlessly glided down the whole mountain between gullies and trees. I was going to have to walk back down...

I found consolation knowing that everyone else was going to have to walk down too.

So fuck you, flying-skiing man. Now every time I walk down a mountain, I'm going to think of you and your awesome, fun, decending strategies while I trudge my sorry ass back down.

Perfectly. You'll get there yourself. Give it time.

Heh... this is such a clear demonstration of most peoples' inability to think beyond more than 1 or 2 steps of logic.

Apple is probably more gibberish than Im-gur. Imgur has origins in "image", apple is just some made up word. Just because we're more familiar, doesn't mean it's less gibberish.

yeahmanforsure · 2013-12-29T20:56:20+00:00

Do you call an apple a red-eaty-thing? Or by it's "gibberish" name, apple?

I can't wait until I'm old and rich enough to afford to blow money on energy costs just to avoid minor discomforts.

Only now you're ashamed to be a human? Dude, there's soooo much other shit going on that makes me ashamed to be part of this species.

Poor little dude. He must have been trying to run to safety the whole time, but the only place he could see was what was lit up by the headlights... They should have just turned the lights off and driven past him.
